The Highly Commended Certificates were awarded to:

Mooloolaba Business & Tourism thanked the Sunshine Coast Daily and Suncorp Bank Mooloolaba for their continuing support of the event.

"We look forward to continuing a successful partnership next year, with the Awards growing and expanding into the future," a spokeswoman said.

Mooloolaba Business & Tourism would also like to thank See Plus Function Centre for providing such a beautiful venue for our event.

Thank you to all the businesses in Mooloolaba for getting behind the Awards and appreciating the importance of acknowledging and rewarding the people that work in the Customer Service industry.

It is not always an easy industry to work in, but Mooloolaba Business & Tourism truly believes that these great people make the difference to Mooloolaba being a successful tourist destination and also a great place for our locals to come and enjoy the lifestyle that we have all chosen to embrace.
